The oem red vale cover looks the best.. It's like a type R valve cover.

I'm biased too.. but since you got AP1, black goes really well with the black spark plug covers, or CF Mugen ones.

A friend of ours powercoats and just does it at his house. Does a great job and its not a lot of money. He can even do it in oem wrinkel red or black. He does all of our valve covers and turbo housings. Price usually depends on the collor you've picked.

Huy,

I have an extra valve cover if you wanted to powdercoat it and give me yours back when you swap the covers. That way you won't have any downtime.

i liked the red, but since mine was kinda chip it bother me, and i might as well get some nice color out of it.
